From-scratch fluffy white bread rolls

I mean, it’s the holy grail of home breadmaking, is it not? Cloudy, soft-as-a-feather crumb with a crisp, golden crust?

From-scratch, white, fluffy bread rolls baking in your very own kitchen? You can smell it now, can’t you!

Something that looks, feels, and tastes like a shop-bought loaf but is made at home for a fraction of the cost?

I know it was for me, and my trials and tribulations in search of that perfect loaf are well-documented on this blog. I was so determined to make a good, reliable, failsafe, everyday loaf. I was iffy about bread improver, which my breadmaker’s instructions implored me to use, but after seeing this situation, I was finally convinced. I stick to mostly Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s bread rules, which has led to this recipe.

Now I have bloody fantastic bread every day of my life. I’m also on the sourdough train, so let’s see how that plays out before I declare success. For now, just let’s focus on these easy balls of utter delight:

Instructions

1. Mix everything together and knead for about 10 minutes. You can also knead it in your mixer fitted with a dough hook, or in your breadmaker.
2. Cover the bowl and leave in a warm place to rise for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
3. Punch down, and divide that dough into as many rolls as you want – I can get up to 16 small rolls with this amount of dough – and arrange them on your tray about an inch from each other and let them rise again for about 45 minutes (that second rise is everything).
4. After your dough loaves have had a second rise, bake at 200C for about 20 minutes or until they’re golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
